Shining Stars

As I shy away from water
I close my lungs to air
I climb outside of my own head now
So I can forget what’s there

Then I laugh out loud in sorrow
I quietly cry for joy
Till I turn my eyes toward the starry sky
And remember love once more

It’s you
Like a star within the sky
It’s you
And that light within your eyes
Yeah that’s what you are
You’re a shining star

You know of all my other loves
No one has known me quite like you
And if I knew this was to be my last day
I’d want just to be with you

So now I give myself to your love
I’ll never live again in fear
And I breathe in deeply of the water
And bathe myself in air

It’s you
Like a star within the sky
It’s you
And that light within your eyes
Yeah that’s what you are
You’re a shining star

Shine your light
Shine on me
Lift me up
So I can see

I hang with you
there in the sky
I learn to shine
